Last night was one of those nights that we did not want to cook. It was 7:30 pm and the last thing anyone wanted to do was cook. Peanut butter and jelly or pizza was looking good. But, we stuck with the plan and it worked! The hardest part of the dish was making the…

Sweet Potato Corned Beef Hash
We love Corned Beef. I buy 4 or 5 during March when they are on sale and keep them in the freezer to pull out at different times to make all kinds of delicious dishes the rest of the year. The other night we pulled out one of the brisket and cooked it in the slow…
Old Fashioned Chicken and Rice Casserole
If you grew up any time during the 1960s, 70s or even 80s you probably had some version of this dish for dinner at one time or another. The soups may have varied and the toppings may have varied but it was a standard meal in many homes. We were talking about this dish the…
Slow Cooker Sweet and Sour Meatballs with Rice
This is a remake version of a recipe I used to make years ago. I lost the recipe about 10 years ago and forgot all about it. The other day we started talking about different dishes I haven’t made in a long time and this was mentioned so I decided to try to recreate it….
French Toast Breakfast Casserole
I have tried different versions of this recipe from Rachel Ray and others but have never really thought it was AMAZING. It was either too dry, too sweet, or just to blah. I was determined to figure out why people loved this dish so much. I didn’t want to wait 8 hours to cook it…

Parmesan Peppercorn Pasta Salad and the Truth About Mother’s Day
So, how was your Mother’s Day? Did your children join you at church wearing their Sunday best? Bring you breakfast in bed or give you all the sweet and wonderful expressions of their love your heart could hold? Mine was well partially a horrid day. I had asked for one thing, my family to Spring…
Creamy Herbed Lemon Chicken
Well, onto dinner last night. This would make a delicious simple dish if you are looking for something with lots of flavor to serve this weekend. This dish smelled amazing as soon as we started cooking the chicken. I have been planning several days for this dinner. I had to rearrange my meals a bit…
Slow Cooker Tacos with Easy Pickled Onions (for a Family or a Crowd!)
Well, we had one dinner together and we are back to the usual busyness for a bit longer. End of school is coming!!! I am so happy. Though we have a super busy summer planned it will be different from the every day school things that are scheduled by someone other than me. I decided…
Pesto Breakfast Pizza
Last night was the first time since sometime in March that we were all home before 8 pm. It was so nice to have all four of us sitting down around the table to eat together. We know it isn’t going to happen again for a few weeks but it was so nice to be…
